Newman Elementary School

School provides very good academic foundation. Great teachers and because of the district, school gets exceptional teacher assistants/helpers, so teacher student ratio is at the prep school level.

I am NOT a current student, I’m a former student!So I was at this school for 5 years, and I have lots of experiences from it. They are very sexist to women. When a teacher needed help to carry something, I would never hear the words “can I have a couple people help me carry this?” It was always “can I have a couple STRONG BOYS to help me carry this?” They openly stated that if you’re gay, or part of the lgbtq+ community, you don’t belong here. Or if you even support it. Then they say how they are a loving community and support anyone. They threatened me and a couple other of my friends once, saying “if you don’t go to church, your gonna go to hell” and poor me was begging my parents to go church after that. They are not inclusive to people of other races. I’ve seen some 1st graders, who are another race, sitting in a corner playing with legos. They are not inclusive to students, either. I’ve been left out a lot, or just sitting in the freezing cold at recess, teachers who are watching don’t do anything. Please do not go to this school!!

I’ve worked in several schools, but what stands out here is the passion. Students are ambitious, parents are engaged, and the faculty team is dedicated. The culture is about growth — for students and for teachers. It’s inspiring to be part of a place that is building something unique.
